I went through all of Gin to Kin recently and was amazed mostly at a FKMT with actual pacing and arcs that don't last hundreds of chapters. It has its own quirks but I honestly enjoyed it a lot more than Kaiji/Akagi/Zero.

Yeah, I wasn't sure at all where this latest arc was going, and I definitely didn't foresee the turn it made but honestly it was still a fun trip. This was exactly what I was thinking when reading up on the news about that stuff.

Kurata is an extremely good foil by being the one man as galaxy brained as Kaiji

Just found out about FKMT and am hooked on Kaiji and Akagi. I know there's a lot still to go and it'll probably get explained at least a little But in ch.15 or so Kaiji starts acting like a pretty confident gambler but I didn't get the impression that he had much experience prior to hopping on the Espoir. In any case it rules. I'm trying to learn some basic mahjong stuff before I get too deep into Akagi but I really like how FKMT ratchets up the tension. Even if it's all carefully crafted and our protagonists usually come out on top it still Kris be turning the page.

Kaiji played and lost at Pachinko and stuff. He has gambled, but he is not a super gambler like Akagi. (However Kaiji is great at surviving.)

I've been catching up and got to 500th chapter of Kaiji and the big showcase of veteran artists congratulating Fukumoto was really wholesome. He really is the mangaka's mangaka.

Oh my god the end of chapter 51... I can't believe it. Kaiji... This manga fuckin rules. Honestly surprised how good it is and I really hope Kaiji can get out of this. He needs a win. His brain is too big to constantly get punked by slime balls.

HOLY poo poo e. Phew, that's Act 1 down. I think I'm gonna take a breather and read one of the mahjong series. Should I start with Akagi or Ten? Ten was published first but Akagi is a prequel series, right? apophenium fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Jul 27, 2021 |

You can start with either; Akagi is the only character in both. I love Ten but I think it might be easier to start with Akagi, since Ten has a weak beginning.

Ten is a phenomenal manga and well worth the read but finishing Akagi is an epic achievement similar to summiting Mt. Everest.

Time dilation in Kaiji is so real. What year do you think it even is in Kaiji anymore? Does FKMT even know what year it is in Kaiji anymore? AFAIK "season 3" (minefield mahjongg) and "season 4" (one poker) of the manga took place on the same night which is completely insane.

The series is set in 1980 but the Tonegawa prequel has episodes about Teiai having a corporate twitter account

Why is finishing Akagi such a feat? Just super long? Akagi is already proving to be an interesting counterpoint to Kaiji. Where Kaiji believes in the goodness of other people Akagi (at least by ch17) is basically a sociopath who gambles for the thrill. Anyways, Fukumoto is good as hell and I'm glad I randomly clicked on this thread. apophenium fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Jul 28, 2021 |
